Re: It's been awhile...need some help » Mr. Scott

Once again, I would venture to say that most of todays experienced doctors probably wouldn't be taking to the internet too much. On the whole they'd be in their 40's, or even older, and as a result would hardly even have been exposed to computers, let alone the internet.

I think it really comes down to their collective view (or possibly what has been told to them in school) about the value of what can come out of one mood disorder sufferer talking to another. From everything I've seen, not much credence is placed in a patient walking in and suggesting things based on what he's heard from another individual (non professional). The internet adds more lack of credibility since it's somewhat anonymous.
